weight

[oC]
[oF]
Note: results
for weight per volume are typically accurate up to one decimal point only. Due to the inherent variability of fuels even the same type of fuel may vary greatly depending on its origin. The figures provided here are a very rough estimate.Values based on FAA-H-8083-1A, Aircraft Weight and Balance Handbook Chart, page 7-13.

type of fuel weight per volume parameters*

Load Examples

Light Aircraft (twin piston, four
seats)

Commuter Aircraft

Light Helicopter (piston, two
seats)

Instructions: Select type of fuel (if appropriate), then
begin by entering the weight and balance information for the
longitudinal axis. Remember to
select the appropriate calculation mode for each
row before typing the information for that row. When entering a
fuel quantity, you may use volume
quantities by checking the fuel box in the
desired row. This will then cause the sheet to calculate fuel
weight based on the fuel selected and the weight
per volume value. If you are entering the
fuel weight directly then you do not need to check the fuel box.
The description box is completely ignored
in the computations. Use this box to describe the
content of the row entered. Once the longitudinal axis is
entered, the lateral axis can be entered if
this is desired, otherwise ignore this section.
The lateral axis is generally used for weight and balance
calculations for helicopters.
